Plants and Zombies: A Match Made in Heaven (PC)

My review may very well be a little skewed. I've never really played any tower defense style games, so if you're coming to this review wondering if it's that "one more time" tower defense game, I can't really help you. What I can do is assure you that, one ...

A Perfect Fit for Your DSi (DSI)

I'll say it now, this is what a DSi game in the $2 range should be. Bird and Beans, or Pyoro for those who are as obsessed with the WarioWare franchise as I am, is an addictive, yet simplistic arcade style game. You play as a little red bird ...

If It's Boring, it's Because You Are. (DSI)

With the 2nd wave of DSiWare comes Mixed Messages from Activision. The game is essentially a refined version of the traditional Telephone game you might have played when you were younger. The first player is either given a phrase, or makes one up (depending on the number of players) ...

Not As Bad as My Last Colonoscopy (DSI)

Not mine, but certainly funny. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Mario games, I'll throw that out there right now. Take one quick look at my handle, if you want some evidence. I've played just about every version of the game that's come out, and I have to say, ...

Good in a Bargain Bin (DS)

If you're looking for an interesting set of puzzle games, Rainforest is a great place. There's 6 in total, with varying degrees of difficulty and a few minor "achievement" style challenges to complete for each game. All and all, it's more complete than some puzzle game packages, and each one ...

Not So Edgey (X360)

A competent first-person platformer with some promising ideas, Mirror's Edge eventually nose-dives off of a building and crashes into the pavement... if it's not gunned down by SWAT members, first. I appreciate it when a game takes a gamble. I always enjoy a new intelligent property, or a ...

Albion and On and On (X360)

I'll be honest, I never got around to playing the first Fable so I was very quick to find a disconnect when playing Fable II. There was a lot of talk about old guilds and lands that I had no real idea of, and I mention that only because ...

You Really Can Never Go Home Again (X360)

Silent Hill has a history of two things: somewhat confusing, albeit meaningful stories and scarring you for life. The games have always managed to evoke deep levels of emotion and fear, even when the gameplay itself was a little less than stellar. Let's be honest, the first couple games ...

As Sexy as it is Shallow (X360)

Imagine that $60 dollars was all it took to buy yourself a super model. She’d be available whenever you want and all you have to do is turn on your Xbox 360. That’s about what you get when you buy Soul Calibur IV: something that looks and plays great, ...

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Awesome (XBLM)

If you find the humor of popular web comic Penny Arcade to be distasteful, too twisted, or not to your liking, than you are in the wrong place. I won’t be able to convince you of Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode Two’s strongest point: the ...

Refraining From Puns... A Dead Space Review (X360)

Dead Space manages to borrow from genre specific games and movies, mix in an original storyline, and a chilling Cover of a Dead Space comic bookatmosphere to make one of the most compelling titles on the X-Box 360. It’s one part Resident Evil 4, one-part Aliens, and a whole ...

Crashing Friendships and Castles At The Same Time (XBLM)

If you've ever played any given side-scrolling beat-em-up, you'll feel right at home. If you remember Donatello yelling "Ohhh, shell shock!," or Haggar's big, burly self beating up the same pallet-swapped baddies for hours on end, or even if you've had a good round of Battletoads, you know the ...

A Super 4 Stars! Ultra! (DS)

Kirby Super Star Ultra - US boxart (Look, he's not angry like most US Kirby boxes!) Yes, this is a remake of the SNES classic Kirby’s Super Star, a collection of games all tied together into one homogeneous piece. I would rate Super Star as one of my favorite games ...

Wario: Shaken, Not Stirred (WII)

Wario has come a long way from being a main Mario villain on the Game Boy. The Wario Land series had a slow start, as the first couple were just sluggish, enemy-tossing versions of the classic Mario Formula. It wasn't until Wario Land 4 on the Game Boy Advance ...

Less Human Than Human (X360)

I don't have a problem with Norse Mythology. I don't have a problem with awesome art design. I don't have a problem with epic soundtracks. And I don't have a problem with Crispin Freeman. So why do I have such a problem with Too Human? In the end: It's ...

Criminally Entertaining (X360)

One part CSI, One part first-person/survival horror, Condemned is a game that relishes in it's visceral delight and dense atmosphere, while trying to tell an interesting mystery teetering on reality and insanity. You play as Ethan Thomas, FBI crime scene investigator who is following The Matchmaker serial killer. You arrive ...

"Invaders! Possibly from Space!" (DS)

Anybody who has the tiniest inkling of video game knowledge more than likely is aware of Space Invaders. It predates even Mario, back when a time when games were simpler. Well that was then and this is now, and people tend to demand a little more bang for their buck ...
